The Importance of Breakfast

Breakfast is famously known as the most important meal of the day, yet it’s a meal that’s likely to be skipped. One in five Americans, or about 60 million people, do not eat or drink anything in the morning and millions more opt for nutrient-poor choices on the run. Studies have shown that skipping breakfast makes it nearly impossible to achieve adequate intakes of key nutrients.
